Planting and care

To install your plant, work your soil to a depth of 20 cm (8in) by crumbling the soil and placing a base amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Position your plant, removed from its pot, by covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil, fill in the hole and water generously to eliminate air pockets. In dry weather, it is necessary to water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root growth. Trim wilted flowers to prolong the flowering period.
